- National Infant & Toddler Child Care Institute
On May 16th, 2006, the National Infant & Toddler Child Care Initiative provided a one-day training as a pre-institute of the 10th Annual Birth to Three Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. The training, titled Infant/Toddler Specialist Networks: An Emerging Strategy to Support Caregivers in Providing High Quality Care to Infants and Toddlers, was the first national professional development opportunity specifically designed to support the work of Infant/Toddler Specialists and States, Territories, Tribes, and communities who currently have Infant/Toddler Specialist Networks and those considering the development or implementation of this strategy.
Participants of the pre-institute training session received several resources to raise awareness of and support work related to the development and implementation of Infant/Toddler Specialist Networks. To access these resources, click here
